Translation

Lord, help John Gypsinos protospatharios epi tou Chrysotriklinou, mystolektes and judge of the Hippodrome.

Commentary

This seal should be read in connection with another belonging to John Gypsinos (BZS 1955.1.3432) which has the same reverse inscription. The obverse of this seal, however, has been redone to record his elevation to mystolektes, a title that in fact should have been placed on the reverse after judge of the Hippodrome.
